October 6, 2012, the newest, coolest sport will storm up the Tennessee River and into RiverRocks as SUPSplash takes over the waterfront. With a $12,000 purse on the line, the top SUP paddlers in the world will come to battle it out for the number one spot in this WPA sanctioned event. RiverRocks is the Mid South Region National Championship race and is the last race to qualify for the World Championships held in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in November. The explosion of Stand Up Paddling has infected Chattanooga and the local paddling fleet is calling all paddlers to join them in this celebration of one of the country's premier and most historic bodies of water, the Tennessee River.
